The ground floor extension begins to take shape.

A daffodil in the garden
The chickens sunbathing on the hay. With the new gate to the goat shelter behind.
Johnny putting up the oak edging around one of the upstairs windows - a ten minute job normally if Johnny didn't keep stopping every few minutes to ask if his bum looked too big ("Of course not" I said - yes, I lied)
The new steps going up the vegetable patch
